subject: Why Garden Windows Are Great [print this page] Garden windows are a spectacular alternative to ordinary windows when you are looking for more light or simply a replacement. Even if you are a beginner do-it-yourselfer, you will be amazed at how easy it is to add this special feature to your home. It adds beauty to any room and also makes it look larger by bringing in the outside!
Add a few plants or herbs in the garden window and you have added decoration to it. Not only do they look amazing, features like garden windows even increase your home's resale value! Most of these garden windows are designed with a seat or a platform at the bottom that can be put to various uses.
Though garden windows come in many options, basically all of them are energy efficient. They can be opened to allow a nice breeze in as they extend outside of the wall of the house and they can also be shut airtight to avoid any heat loss. With variations, they may have some panels that open and come with lockable latches for security. An awning serves the purpose of ventilation. This option allows you to keep the garden windows open while it rains as well!
The most popular type of frame available is vinyl frames for these windows as they are available in an assortment of colors. They are also maintenance free since they are rot proof, rust free and do not peel or corrode. Vinyl also offers better insulation than traditional materials like wood. Other forms of insulation like foam added to the frame of vinyl garden windows add to their energy efficiency.
So, if you are looking to beautify your room with an interesting touch - choose a garden window and enjoy installing it!
